This is going to be my attempt at trying to catch up! Sheesh...this blog is sadly neglected. I guess that's because I'm a busy working Mom of this busy, silly toddler. I'm sure you would have never guessed this by looking at the above picture. HEHE! That's a doll bed that my Great Grandpa made. Hal thinks she fits. Trust me...she definitely keeps us RUNNING!! I certainly should weigh a heck of a lot less than I do. We have been busy, busy, busy since January. Busy playing with play-dough, coloring, playing in Hal's kitchen...helping Grammie get her house ready to put on the market, folding laundry, bowling with family, holding Demarle at Home Parties (that's me!), trying to potty-train, working a few hours from home so I don't have to go in so early, getting root canals and subsequent crowns....starting Weight Watchers and losing 11 pounds so far, trying out new recipes, attending Women's Bible Study and just being a family!! My house is usually a wreck, the dryer is most definitely ALWAYS going and I always have a full laundry basket with clean clothes waiting to be folded. But, every night when I go to bed and kiss this little girl good night..it's all worth it. Can someone please remind me of that the next time I burst into tears after cleaning up a small flood in the bathroom during her bath??

Again, this blog has a long over due new look. I have wanted for so long to make my own banner and make this blog a little spiffier...is that a word? Well...it is now...it's an April word...so too bad! I didn't know how to do and we don't have Photoshop or the money to purchase it. So...I found a tutorial that helped me out....AND I downloaded the FREE Picasa software. GENIUS!! AND...so very easy!!
